This guy McCain should pick up a copy of the Constitution AND READ IT. What a jerk.

Excuse me for asking this, but what about the Constitutionality of this provision? Amendment #1: Congress shall make no law restricting speech or the exercise thereof.

Doesn't leave any room for reporting requirements on your speech.

We know it's unconstitutional. Why doesn't anyone say that?

the real meat of the "reform" is the effort to silence the email and phone trees.

They want to silence outlets like FR.

" McCain is considered one of the most authoritative voices on ethics- and lobbying-related issues in the Senate."

Doesn't say much about their concept of ethics.

Okay...so McCainiac says the common people can't be trusted so we must be monitored religiously while Congress can do whatever the hell it wants without censure.

McCainiac says us Christians are scary people that are too close to the GOP.

Then the loser decides to run for President again, Dobson smacks him hard alongside the had announcing he'll never vote for him and his attempts to silence our free speech is part of the reason and suddenly he backtracks on his many years track record.

I hope all the people that have bashed Dobson and Christians (the Armey's of the world and certain people selfishly only concerned with their wants and needs mostly on the fiscal side) are taking note the ONLY reason McCain has reversed his stance (temporarily as it'll flip eventually) is because DOBSON spoke out against him and he wants the Christian Right's vote. Take note of who your real enemies are.

As to McCainiac, only one thing drives me right now since I do NOT Trust Republicans anymore then Dems right now. And that is taking down McCain in '08. Payback is coming for what he spent the last years doing that led to '06.

McCain really is a true whore. Nobody is going to respect him. He is caving for votes period. Nobody believes he has had a change of heart. He has a change in needing to target primary voters.

If he actually saw the light, it would be one thing. I would rather have an honest opponent than a weasel coming to my side just to kiss my tushy. McCain will flop right back the other way if ever elected President.

Reagan talked about the fact that, in his late life, the younger generation never knew the freedom that he knew. Let us not make it, that future generations will know even less freedom.

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

If he wants to have a chance at all in the up and coming election...it'd be very wise of him. After the campaign finance bill...it's kinda hard to ever trust Cain.

Let me rewrite one sentence

"McCain (one of the Keating 5) is considered one of the most authoritative voices on ethics."

There. That's a tad better.

Here's an excerpt from wikipedia on the Keating 5 scandal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five

"In 1989, the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association of Irvine, Calif., collapsed. Lincoln's chairman, Charles H. Keating Jr., was faulted for the thrift's failure. Keating, however, told the House Banking Committee that the FHLBB and its former chief Edwin J. Gray were pursuing a vendetta against him. Gray testified that several U.S. senators had approached him and requested that he ease off on the Lincoln investigation. It came out that these senators had been beneficiaries of $1.3 million (collective total) in campaign contributions from Keating.

... After months of testimony revealed that all five senators acted improperly to differing degrees, the senators continually said they were following the status quo of campaign funding practices ...McCain also remained in the Senate and he made campaign finance reform a key legislative interest. The scandal was followed by a number of attempts to adopt campaign finance reform -- "

John's just doing this to pander to a voting bloc that his handlers told him he needs. He'll never win, his negatives are way too high among conservatives.

I trust McChurian about as far as I can throw his family's mansions. He's only biding his time . . .

I'm thankful he saw the handwriting on the wall this time.

I'm not fooled by his expediency.

see- this is what I don't like about McCain- he did the about face only because he fears the fallout from conservatives and religious folks if he stood his ground on this issue- While I'm sort of happy that he did switch his view- I see it as incincere on his part and fear he will get the votes, then switch his view back again when the other side pressures him- He's flopped on too many issues to be a reliable candidate in my opinion
